“White Book: genetically modified crops, EU regulations and
research experience from the Czech republic” has been just
published in Prague, Czech Republic.
The White Book was prepared under the auspices of the 7FP
REGPOT-2008-1 project “Building up Modern Biotechnologies for
Agriculture” (acronym MOBITAG, GA 229518).
Most Czech scientists working with genetically modified
organisms (GMOs) relevant for agriculture and related activities
were invited to express their opinions and provide a short
annotation on their research. Their names and addresses are
provided at the end of the book, following a conjoint appeal
calling for a revision of the current EU legislation on
genetically modified crops.
This book, including a call from Czech scientists, is neither an
advertisement nor an advocacy for the deployment of GM crops –
it is a call for the use of critical intelligence and knowledge
in the decision making process on this technology.
The book and its contents can be distributed freely. |
